Sunday Gardening Project(s)

Finally got the bed mulched. I weeded and redefined the rock border a few weeks ago. D pulled some large rocks from the creek to better set the tree edge and minimize erosion.




Thanks, Lucky, for posing so tactfully for each of the above photos. ;-)


FINALLY planted the purple-leafed birch, hemlock, and weeping willow (compliments of Pine View Nursery) mimosa (compliments of Natalie), and red bud ("weed" in the flower bed compliments of our neighbor Nancy). I also relocated some sedum. Let's hope that they all survive after 1+ months of watering in pots--fingers crossed! You may have to look closely to see these little trees, especially the willow near the creek:

After 4+ hours of work in the sun, I was officially tired. Thankfully D watched M and did some laundry while I gardened. He was nice enough to leave the vacuuming to me. :-D I also formally hung the curtain and valance in M's room. What a busy weekend! Think I'll get to bed early tonight and start my week off right.
